LINE-UP:

MAZ
It took a while for Maz’ beautiful, yet gory poetry notes to escape his bedroom drawer; for the pride flag to appear between metal posters. Today, he puts his thoughts into an explosion of emo-rap with references to punk and metal music. He mixes skillfull rap with distorted screams and melodic hooks; creating a dark, yet hopeful form of expression. As Maz enters the stage, he ties audiences up into the limb of a giant marionette. A powerful collective beast that puts up a fight against social injustices and inspires one to accept their own darkness just as much as their light. This captivating live energy seems to have escaped from secrecy, earning him slots at iconic festivals such as Sziget or ESNS and the award for the best live performance at the Luxembourg Music Awards in 2022.

DE LÄB
De Läb is a well-known player in our Luxembourg music landscape. They’ve been shaking up our country since their first appearance in 2007, from the smallest pub to the biggest stage. They master their craft and skillfully embody the « new school », with yesterday’s attitude. Their music not only conveys good mood, but also plenty of deeper messages to think about, decorated with a nice touch of irony. They’re a real live force, grabbing the audience and forcing the party upon it.

TUYS
Between energetic live shows and cinematic videos, TUYS craft
an exuberant mix of artistic sophistication and pop hooks. The band was founded in 2007 by three primary school friends and continues to be their life project with a new base in Berlin. They create driving art rock and emotive psych pop music with chiming guitars, synths, and wide-ranging vocals. Their music is accompanied by visual storytelling that explores metafiction and aesthetic satire.

THEM LIGHTS
Them Lights is a dark tunnel of 80s reminiscence flashes and modern electronica. Multi-instrumentalist, producer, singer and songwriter Sacha Hanlet correlates in a wide range of genres from pulsating electronica, dark pop to soulful R’n’B. Having toured the world as the drummer of the math-rock band Mutiny On The Bounty for almost two decades, it wasn’t until 2017 that he started to produce his very own sounds and explore his eternal love for arpeggios, 80’s synthesizers and groove.

HUNNEG-STRËPP
Hunneg-Strëpp breaks the old-fashioned image of brass bands only playing traditional arrangements. This brass band loves to surprise its audience with covers of unexpected titles: Hip-Hop and Rock are as honored as pop and hits from the 90’s. There are no limits and only one objective: to make the public dance and to refresh the brass bands’ reputation!

THE X
The X is a Luxembourg based Electro-pop duo founded in 2021 by Sarah Kertz (Keys, Vocals) and Yannick Stein (Guitar, Vocals). Inspired by the 80’s, the modulated guitars, dreamy vocals, deep beats, sombre melodies and abstract soundscapes will take you to a unique universe: bittersweet, futuristic and nostalgic …

ZAZA
Zaza is a newcomer to the Luxembourg rap scene. She started writing lyrics and freestyling for fun when she was 15. Fascinated about hip-hop and rap, she started recording her own songs 5 years later. After a lot of experimental sessions, she officially launched her project in 2023. She manages her emotions and experiences through her music. Prepare for raw thoughts transformed into words and melodies.

MOMMA MERLIN
Newcomer Momma Merlin is a mostly german Rapper and Songwriter, a Funkychild born and based in Luxembourg. She tries to express her feelings and her love for language through bass and bars.

ANTO352
Anto352 is a French rapper from Luxembourg and member of the multilinguistic group Pachamama Family.

DON CEE
Don Cee is a Belgian-American rapper living in Luxembourg and active since 2018. He is the founder of the Hip Hop group ‘Pachamama Family’ and raps in english and french.

LUCA HUBERTY
